With the exception of the P7800, PSE11 should be able to open all of the above. You may need to run Help> Updates though to install v7.4 of the plug-in.

Thanks for your quick reply Nealeh. I have the Nikon P7800! The one on your list E11 it won't work with. Is there a solution? If I download 8.2 version of ACR independantly what would be the effect. Richard

Thanks for your quick reply, much appreciated. The camera is the Nikon P7800, the one that Nealeh, on the forum says is the only one it won't work with. Is it possible to download ACR 8.2 (I think) independently of E11 not causing any harm. I also run Lightroom 5.3 and have no problem with that opening the NRW's. I don't really want to be forced into buying E12. Cheers, Richard.

You'll need to download the DNG converter 8.3. This will allow you to convert the 7800 files to Adobe's DNG format (a RAW format with the specification in the public domain). You will then be able to open them in PSE11s Camera RAW plug-in.

If your system can't open zip files I highly recommend the free 7-Zip (Google it) to do so.

The '1033' file the instructions refer to is in payloads\AdobeCameraRaw7.0All-051113155157\Assets1_1.zip.

* At your own risk! If any of this is incomprehensible stick with the DNG converter - that's the officially supported method and you'll need to install it anyway to get the profiles installed.

Nikon wants to make their products better so they make new camera models every few months. Every camera's raw format needs to be profiled by Adobe and supported specifically. Adobe only updates their currently shipping products with new camera support.

Adobe chooses how often to create pay-for versions of software, in the case of Elements, once a year, so they can continue to generate revenue and pay their employees. Of course we'd like to buy something once and have it work forever without more payment but that is not realistic in the current economic model we live under.

If you're feeling trapped by the current system, imagine when, some day, everything will be provided by the government and be "free" but you'll also be told whether you can have a camera and for what purposes, and all your photographs will be the property of the government because your camera was free and you are merely an agent of the government. Until that time, you pay to own or lease things and have some choice how to use them.

E11 has only just been superseded by E12 so surely support should be still available. Office capital equipment legally has to be supported for 5 years after production ceases.

I am all for companies making revenue for their employees. I have been one for 45 years. But due to ill health have not been able to work for several years so paying for many things has not been possible unless they are essential.

The last patronising rant you chucked at me was totally out of order and out of any reasonable comparison Keep your political opinions to yourself. I am extremely upset by your comments.

I worked for a major multi-national supplier of office capital equipment and the information was told me there a few years ago. I do not know of an, external to them, site where it can be found. If you have concerns I suggest you contact such a company and ask them for relevant information. I will not disclose the name of my employer for personal security reasons, sorry.

There are many companies out there who make similar and sometimes better products on the market in whichever product that might be. Believe it or not, we the public have freedom of choice as to whom we buy from, (radical thought eh).

I and most other consumers will become repeat customers if the product is good, fairly priced, suites our needs and has good back up and customer service. If those parameters are not met we switch to alternative suppliers, simple as that.

The most successful companies acknowledge that fact and strive to meet it. Without at least 50% of their business being from repeat orders they struggle to survive and then cannot only not increase their staffs pay but have to lay them off.
